Reviews

For those who dislike reviews from cooks who have made modifications, my apologies; for cooks who enjoy reading about other cooks' modifications, inspirations, and variations, read on. I used my own favorite guacamole recipe in place of the guacamole here, and added the black beans directly to the chicken mix; used Mexican Cojito cheese in place of goat, and added a couple of dollops of sour cream on top of the finished tostadas, and voila: delicious summer meal. Poached chicken breasts in water with onion, celery, bay leaf, and a healthy sprinkle of "Piquanto Rice Blend" spice mix from The Spanish Tin (Santa Barbara). My favorite guacamole is adapted from Rick Bayless: 3 large avocadoes mashed with 1/2 cup green tomatillo salsa, then add 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 of a white onion, chopped, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the raw bite, then drained, then a bit of salt to taste. The cumin/cilantro-scented chicken mixed with chopped tomatoes and black beans is a wonderful combination, and would make a good filling for enchiladas or tacos, too.

This dish was delicious! Since I'm not a fan of guacamole, I used refried beans instead. Served this to a friend for lunch and my husband and I dined on the leftovers at dinner. Both raved about this tasty dish- my friend had seconds & my husband had thirds!

This was fresh tasting and delicious. My 14-yr. old daughter and I loved them and she wanted them again the next evening. I do think they would be best as a light summer meal or lunch. Made it exactly as recipe stated.

The hardest part of preparing this recipe was finding a good avocado in our local grocery store! The result was so delicious that I made it again the following day. I preferred the yellow corn taco shells I used initially to the flour tortillas I tried the second time, although both were good. The corn taste is a much better compliment to the other ingredients, particularly the goat cheese. Since this can be prepared in less than 20 minutes and is so healthy, I will definitely be making it regularly.

Yum yum yum. This was so fun to make too. Served it with some Spanish rice and it didn't need anything else. I poached chicken breasts with an onion and some parsley and s&p, and it came out really flavorful. I forgot the green onions, so I threw in some chopped red onion which added some nice texture I thought. Definitely make more of everything than the recipe calls for, or don't expect to have much left over anyway. Even our 6 year old enjoyed this (although our salsa was a little too hot for her) and we got lucky with some great creamy goat cheese. I've used feta before, and it's not the same. Can anthing really beat lime and cilantro with a cold beer on a hot night?

Great recipe - I agree it is more of a lunch or summertime dinner recipe - I would add a good amount of lime to the chicken as well as the guac. I used warm flour tortillas instead and made soft tacos with it - very good!

I did really enjoy this recipe! My husband thought that they would be great warmed on a stone on our grill so we tried it and they were great! Big rave reviews from all who tasted. Gave them a warm taste and melted the cheese just enough...I would definitely make again for a "margharita monday" summer celebration!!!

This is a great alternative to your standard beef tostadas. The cilantro and lime adds an amazing fragrance! You can add another chicken breast to the recipe and have it for lunch the next day without a tostada shell. Makes for a very fancy chicken salad!

This was delicious, healthy (I think), and very easy to make. The lime juice really added a great flavor, in my opinion. Everyone in the house loved it. The only problem I had with this recipe is that it didn't make enough! Next time we will double everything.

The whole reason I chose to make this recipe is because I had a taste for goat cheese and I had some cooked chicken leftover - and I am not a big chicken fan. We were in a hurry and this came together quickly and beautifully - I completely forgot to sprinkle the goat cheese on the tostadas before serving but my husband and I gobbled them up saying they were the best homemade tostadas we'd ever had! Only change was an extra minced garlic clove in the guacamole (we love garlic). I can't wait to make it again with the goat cheese so I can up my score to 4 forks!

Quick and Easy. Took about 40 minutes from start to finish. Didn't use tostadas but had tortilla chips on the side - same idea. Husband and I enjoyed a light but filling dinner for a change. Good flavor - especially with all the lime juice.

This is a great summer weeknight dinner. Very easy. I poach the chicken breast in broth and come out very moist. Have had with all of the toppings and sometimes just the guacamole and chicken on the tostada and still very good.

I used half a rotisserie chicken and ready-made guacamole and salsa and like the reviewer from San Diego, completely forgot to add the black beans. Regardless, not only did the dish come together very quickly, it was quite yummy. Goat cheese on top was a surprise treat. This will definitely become a spring/summer entree staple.
